Waterman 52 1/2V – Super Flex (On Ebay)
This Waterman ring top is a black hard rubber pen with gold filled trim. The hard rubber has faded to a medium brown. The pen is smooth with no original chasing. The imprints are perhaps a little worn but are easily readable. The gold filled trim does not show any brassing. However, the lever box at some point was pushed downward resulting in a slight bend down at it’s axis point. There is no crack in the box. Just a slight bend downward. The 14kt. Waterman #2 is a wet and smooth writing F (0.4mm) that flexes quite easily up to a BB line (1.6mm). It has pretty good responsiveness as well.
